“I believe the best mentoring happens on the basketball court, on a hiking trail, or just having a chat. It’s about building a solid friendship and finding what makes you tick.”
About Me
Howdy! I’m Mark. I’m competitive on the basketball court, love being outdoors, but most of all, I’m a great listener.
I became a qualified Social Worker (MSW) because I’ve always been passionate about standing up for people and helping them navigate tough times. During my time working in primary schools, I saw firsthand that having one reliable, consistent, and fun person in your corner can change everything for a young person.
I love what I do because I get to be that person. I want to build a real friendship with you, discover your interests, and help you build the confidence to chase whatever goals matter to you.
Interests & Hobbies
Basketball: I live for the game. Whether you’re a beginner or looking for a challenge on the court, I’m always ready to play.
The Outdoors: You’ll often find me hiking new trails, exploring nature, and recharging in the fresh air.
Staying Active: I love moving, keeping fit, and encouraging a healthy, positive mindset through activity.
Ways I Can Help
Connection & Friendship: Just being a reliable, consistent partner you can trust.
Skill Building: Helping you get comfortable with new tasks, whether it’s using public transport, cooking, or managing emotions.
Community Access: Exploring new places and helping you get involved in local activities or sports groups.
Independence: Working together so you feel more confident making your own decisions.
